"Mom!"

In the morning, David, who packed his bags and was ready to go out to school, took just two steps cautiously, he was afraid that the sound he made would make Gloria rest, but when he saw the man lying on the sofa in the living room, David rolled his eyes and yelled out loudly.

"Huh? What's wrong David? Did something happen? On the sofa, the man covered his mouth with his hands, yawned and propped up his body in a daze, the blanket covering his body fell to the ground, he exposed his naked upper body, there were no traces of prostheses and implants on his body, and he looked like a handsome young guy who couldn't be more ordinary.

But in the hellish place of Night City, the most worthless thing is the face, and if you want a good-looking face, why not change it? Another one with his appearance and a fragile native body without a prosthetic,I'm afraid to be a doll for fear of being spoiled by others.,Although sex puppets are a regular job in Night City.,But it's not easy to do.,The most fucking thing in Night City is perverts.。

"Lin Wen, what's wrong with me still asking? Didn't I already tell you? You are not allowed to come to my house again, no, yes, again, come, I, of, home! David stepped forward and pointed to Lin Wen's nose and said word by word.

Lin Wen suddenly reached out and grabbed David's wrist, and with just a slight force of his arm, David was pressed on the sofa by Lin Wen.

"Stinky boy, you have only been seen for a few days and you have been so angry with me? Is it really time for you to rebel? Putting his arm around David's shoulder, Lin Wen scolded and said.

This damn little ghost, you fucking grew up watching Lao Tzu!

"Fuck off, let me go." David tried to break free, but he couldn't break free, and in the end he could only sit beside Lin Wen with his chest hugged in anger.

"Did Gloria tell you?"

"Say what? Say you're already going to live here? Or do you really want to be my stepfather? David scolded.

"When your stepfather is not..."Lin Wen teased, looked at David's angry face, and immediately changed his words:

"Well, David, you see, this hellish place is full of poor children who have no one to raise, they were abandoned by their parents and grew up in an orphanage, one of them will die if they are not careful, and some will be caught by black-hearted businessmen to shoot and torture Mewtwo.

David, you are lucky, no matter how hard Gloria is, she never thought of giving up on you, she raised you so hard, and now I help her, how can I also help Gloria share the pressure, isn't it? ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Lin Wen said to David with a smile.

The world is rotten, mothers like Gloria are definitely a minority, and there are many middle- and upper-class families in Night City who love children and have sound families, but the poor people in Night City... Scold.

The matter of catching young children to shoot custom Mewtwo is not something Lin Wen said nonsense, he has seen it with his own eyes, and he is extremely angry about it.

David listened to Lin Wen's words, rolled his eyes, and replied: "If you can give money, it's not impossible, but you're a bastard, you're a dirty vampire, you'll only suck her blood, she's hard enough." David looked at Lin Wen, his eyes were full of seriousness, and said: "So if you are still a man, go and find yourself a job, even if it is not decent, instead of continuing to lie in your small clinic and only suck the blood of your own woman." ”

David gritted his teeth and said, "If I were you, if she hadn't been stopping me, then I think I'd be out there by now." ”

Lin Wen was stunned when he heard David's words, and looked up at the old-fashioned fan, which was squeaking and spinning.

It's a little funny, this is the era when your mother's exoskeleton implant chip technology is flying, but in this hellish place, it's still using an old-fashioned electric fan hanging up...

There is a serious fault line in science and technology...

Wait, this doesn't seem to be funny, after all, it's 2076, aren't you still smoking traditional cigarettes?

This is really not cyber top real!

Thinking about it, Lin Wen touched his head, took his hand off David's shoulder, Lin Wen touched the table in front of him, took out a cheap cigarette from the flat cigarette case, and after lighting it, Lin Wen took a hard puff.

"Ahem!" David coughed after inhaling the smell of cigarettes and looked at Lin Wen with displeasure.

"Can't you listen to what I told you?" Lin Wen smoked a cigarette, the smoke was filled, blocking his face, his face was calm, and he looked at David quietly.

Gloria customizes a path for David, which is rigid but safe.

But Lin Wen knew that David had blood in his bones that yearned for stimulating life, and as he grew older, the blood in his body was boiling, his bones were rattling, David began to burn himself, and he had begun to be restless.

This era has always given birth to such guys, and they can't go back.

"Don't look at me like that again... I just, I just thought she was working too hard. Read books, how long do you think I have to read? David suddenly panicked, but as soon as he thought that he had grown up, David craned his neck and shouted at Lin Wen again: "And don't think about threatening me anymore, I'm almost sixteen, I know what I should do." ”

"I don't want to really beat you up, just like Gloria said, you have taken care of me and helped me no matter how you have done it, you are not my opponent now, you stinky bastard."

David's words made Lin Wen stunned.

"A bastard boy."

With a low scolding, a scalp hit him, slapped David staggering, covered the back of his head and looked at him with bared teeth, Lin Wen suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, go to your school." ”

David didn't speak, but sat on the couch and covered his nose in silence.

"Don't worry, Gloria has prepared genuine software for you, go to your school honestly, after today, you will have the same equipment as those little boys."

"But, I really don't want to spend her money anymore." David sighed, looked at Lin Wen again, and the meaning of his words made Lin Wen happy.

Dead imp, is this mocking me?

I'm the one who paid for the software!

"She's your mother, it's natural for you to use her money, hurry up and get out, just be filial to her in the future."

David nodded, and when he got up, he looked at Lin Wen with an unhappy look in his eyes, obviously... Obviously, he was going to scold Lin Wen and then drive this guy out, but now why was he inexplicably coaxed?

Well, otherwise there wouldn't be a daily noise, but he still comes over from time to time.

Putting on his school uniform, David walked out of the door angrily, thinking that he would be more serious about him next time.

At the very least, at least you'll have to stop sucking Gloria's blood, won't you?

"He's gone?"

Not long after David left, Gloria's door opened, and she was in good spirits, wearing a yellow overalls with a ruddy face, and her red hair was tied up, revealing her delicate and fair collarbones.

It's a native product, Lin Wen's favorite thing about Gloria is a small red line under her cheeks, which adds a lot of charm to Gloria, and secondly, Gloria's collarbone and lower body, with a straight and round hip, will line up the loose cargo pants.

Loose overalls can't hide Gloria's good figure in the slightest.

"He's just gone." Lin Wen nodded with a smile.

"Then I'm going to work, by the way, can you go to my room and sleep?" Gloria wisely put away the bottles and cans on the table, turned to Lin Wen and said.

"Forget it, I just got up, and I'm not too sleepy now, I'll sit down and go back to sleep."

Snuffing out the cigarette with his fingertips, Lin Wen said to Gloria with a smile.

Gloria raised her head and said to Lin Wen hesitantly: "By the way, that money..."

"You just take it, don't worry about it, it's from a serious channel." Lin Wen's eyes flashed, and he rejected the transfer request sent by Gloria, and said, "Another one, even if it is money from illegal channels, who can control it?" ”

Laughing self-deprecatingly, Lin Wen leaned back and sank into the sofa, he looked at the tattered ceiling, and whispered, "Gloria, this world is completely fucking rotten..."

"What is not lawful is what is lawful..."

“...”

Gloria walked behind Lin Wen in silence, then lowered her head.

The ends of her red hair swept across Lin Wen's cheeks, and then, she bent down, closed her eyes, and swiped lightly on Lin Wen's lips.

After the separation, Gloria's face was a little red, not shy, but caused by congestion after bending down and bowing her head.

"But we have to live with hope, don't we?" She whispered, "I know you've always had a lot on your mind, David doesn't know you, and I don't know you... But I will always be with you, as long as you don't abandon me. ”

“...”

Lin Wen nodded, propped up his body and kissed back, and after parting, he said with a smile: "Gloria, it's good to have you by my side." ”

Gloria smiled, picked up her bag and said, "Okay, then I'll go to work." ”

"Stay safe."

"Ah, ah, ah, it's guarded by the guards." Gloria pushed open the door, turned back to Lin Wen and said with a smile.

After the room was empty, Lin Wen lit another cigarette and smoked quietly.

If I hadn't met Gloria, what would I have done now?

I can't think of it...

To be honest, Lin Wen is really tired of his old life.

Night City is chaotic, but it's also safe, here, no one cares about your past outside, here, Lin Wen has avoided a lot of troublesome things.

Anyone can hide in Night City, as long as you're honest and out of the limelight.

However, in order to protect the people around him, Lin Wen's whereabouts were slowly exposed.

To put it mildly, people as handsome as him are generally the protagonists, and things can't be avoided.

What happened yesterday is a good example, although... The intermediary may only know one of his multiple identities, but this also confirms Lin Wen's conjecture that it is not safe here.

But since he came to Night City, Lin Wen didn't plan to leave.

Although it is chaotic, it is just right here compared to other places that are controlled by the state.

Squinting, Lin Wen lit the cigarette again, and then spit out the smoke ring, feeling the taste of cheap tobacco.

Is it better to be in a place where there is more chaos and no rule of law?

Thinking of this, Lin Wen laughed at himself.

David only sees the superficial surface of the world, and Gloria has become a line that separates him from the "real", but just like that, the boy also wants to modify himself with a gun, run to become a mercenary, and pursue the "dream" of becoming rich overnight and dying.

"What a fucking world... I'm really, grass your biao mother..."

He lowered his head and whispered.
